It has begun. In Trilokpuri today, people are doing what the Election Commission never did: reading the deleted-voter lists line by line and checking their own names. This is what a public audit looks like. The voter list belongs to the people. #NoSIR #MakeSocialAuditsMandatory

As if the unauthorised dumping of mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) in the Aravalis wasn’t an environmental violation enough, the waste has now been allegedly set on fire. Toxic smoke has engulfed parts of Gurgaon–Faridabad Road, Sector 49, Bhankri and several other villages of #Faridabad. This raises serious concerns over solid waste management, open waste burning, air quality and potential violations of environmental norms. A serious failure of environmental governance and waste management oversight

Protestors at Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, hurl stones & burn police vehicles after security forces tried to break up a 24-hr sit-in demanding the withdrawal of FIRs, arrests, censorship & plans for a mega dam that will drown 27 villages in the lush Siang Valley: @arshadreports

Your religion and tradition are no excuse for the obscene weight intelligent animals have to bear. this practise is archaic and needs to be banned. if your faith in god or a divine power are sincere, you will not miss out by setting these gentle animals free.

Seeing reports of another elephant "running amok" at a Dussehra event. It's about time this practise of temple elephants was stopped. Enough is enough.

This should be taught across social science + architecture disciplines worldover as a case study of memoricide-through-renovation. The simplicity of the original setting was itself a historical artefact. It memorialised the pain. The makeover has disrupted that continuity.

[Rishika Pardikar @rishpardikar]

In a recent conversation, a Nicobarese person said "Shompen is what we [Nicobarese] call them. We have no idea what Shompen call themselves [bc we don't understand their language]." It doesn't take much to acknowledge native history but BJP govt manages to fail extraordinarily.

[Jairam Ramesh @Jairam_Ramesh]

Instead of pausing and subjecting the Great Nicobar mega infra project to a thorough review in view of its hugely adverse environmental and humanitarian impacts, the Union Govt has just declared Galathea Bay as a major port to be developed in public-private partnership mode. And when it comes to ports especially is there any doubt or mystery on who this private company will be?

Brazenness thy name is Modani!

Sad fallout of the sensational coverage of the UP Bahraich wolves, in Bihar. A jackal brutally beaten to death after it was spotted at the Maksudpur fort.
Golden jackals are very common and smaller than the Indian wolf. Need to create awareness and not panic.

“.. a fire-tipped iron rod stuck to its body, which damaged its spine, said the conservationist..treatment - after a delay of more than eight hours. No word from forest officials, the conservationist claimed the elephant succumbed to its injuries this morning”

Did you know that WFI VIOLATED its own rules for #VineshPhogat when she asked for an Olympic trial, which could have been fatal for her? Dont get distracted by the '100 grams'; the story is what happened before & after that

Men, even allies, will never understand why this feels personal

A gang of disgusting men got together to destroy a brilliant, ambitious woman. This is the story of every woman.

A special shout out to Indian male cricket team for being spoilt brats who stand up for no one.

[Prashant Bhushan @pbhushan1]

Read this IE story to see how Phogat became overweight after her semi final win. She was given some ORS by the Indian officials which increased her weight to 52.7 Kg! They expected her to shed 2.7Kg overnight for which she was made to workout the whole night!
Negligence! Wilful?

[Prof. Varsha Eknath Gaikwad @VarshaEGaikwad]

💔 Vinesh was forced to fight in a weight category that was not her own because the federation chose someone else for the 53 kg category and refused to hold trials for Olympic qualification, the very same trials they claimed the protesting athletes didn't want to participate in! Vinesh kept asking for trials but was denied.

The girl they chose instead of her not only lost but faces deportation for trying to sneak in her sister to the Games village. The Sports Minister is busy counting how much was spent on Vinesh, putting all the blame on her personal staff and the IOA is reading out pre-written statements.

Vinesh did not get disqualified, she was failed!
